Driver is Garth Wigston in which can only be the 1977 Hang Ten 400 (DNF)

The ATCC ran two races at Sandown, The advertisment you can see in the picture (Bottom right corner, starting with an "H") was only there for the Hang Ten 400 (Round 8 of the 1977 season). Not for the first race (round 5).

#68 top photo is a Mazda R100. I have the original photograph somewhere. Will dig it up. Incl. ID, hopefully.

There it is: John Wharton, track and year still unknown. The track shouldn't be too big of a task. I think I've seen this exact angle in other photos.

John Wharton himself gives us the answer:

The reason that it rolled is because the Mini in the photograph hit me in the RHR corner entering the Eastern Loop at Lakeside. The car did a 1:33.0 at tSurfers and beat the two Alfa 2000's on their debut driven by Chris Cole and Sue Ransom

The photo is taken against the driving direction. Haha, fooled me long enough.
